Fujitsubo or milltek. Not to loud and just right amount of rumble, until you get on it. But when you do both sound awesome.

If you can find an AutoSpeed, it definitely fits the bill. I have it on my specB.

You may want to point her to legacygt dot com, plenty of sound clips and firsthand experience.

Borla it's really mellow but has sound, quiet at idle and cruising speeds.

Autospeeds aren't quiet are they?

I don't think milltek has an exhaust for us...

Fujitsubo.... good luck finding one under 1K

I had the Borla on my LGTB. I loved it. Nice rumble, but subtle.

search youtube for legacy gt exhaust, all yer answers there

2 cats will be most quiet
1 cat will be decent
catless will always be lout

Headers help reduce drone
resonators help reduce drone

My magnaflow right now is the quietest exhaust i've ever heard, but mostly cuz it has 2 resonators in the mid pipe.

This isn't gonna be exact, but here's how'd i'd order them from quiet to loud.
stock < autospeed < prodrive < magnaflow < CNT< stromung < megan racing < borla < perrin < HKS < XO2/GMS

Runned Catted the Borla was way quieter than the Megan.

The Magnaflow was EXTREMELY loud, wasn't even able to cruise around in Rick's 08 with a stock downpipe.

^ of course it depends on the auction closing price as to whether this a "deal" but shipping isn't that difficult. All you need to do is use ImportMonster.com and they'll ship it from Japan to you. I know that it was relatively lightweight but the S202 wing I just got was sent in a oversized box and that cost $150 to ship.

I'd say go with the Magnaflow. Put one on my wife's 05 LGT and with the stock dp it's very quiet (too quiet for my tastes), yet still lets the rumble be heard.

Hush/Maddad are both perfect catless. Wont wake your neighbors up when you start your car at 5:30am. Both do tend to open up under hard acceleration though.

Couldnt tell you whats quiet + rumbly catted because aint nobody got time for that.

I have 1 cat left, so it's not too loud. Plus a resonator so hardly any drone. Deep rumble.
